  • 4 years ago
Smoke rises over Beirut, Lebanon, today (September 10) following a fire in a warehouse at the city's port.

A military helicopter was seen flying across the skyline carrying water to be dumped on the blaze.

Flame ripped through an oil and tyre warehouse in the port's duty-free zone. Firefighters were also at the scene to help bring the fire under control.

It comes just a month after a huge explosion killed 190 people in the city.
